We told you earlier in our top Toluca vs Colorado Rapids predictions that coach Armas’ boys have a tremendous attacking record, right? It’s due to Navarro’s outstanding goalscoring capabilities. Yes, the Rapids had to pay €450k for the striker’s services, but with 11 domestic leagues goals since the start of the MLS chase, he is surely proving his worth.
Second player to watch: Paulinho
Speaking of tier-A strikers, Paulinho has been a true gem this season. Toluca’s men in charge had to pay a mind-blowing €7.75m for the player’s services, but he scored 50.0% of all goals for his team in Liga MX so far.
